Preview up for the Miss America Special.
I first encountered Miss America in, I think, the 1970s, when her husband the Whizzer appeared in the Avengers comic. At the time the two of them were being presented as possible parents for Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch; Miss America was no longer alive at that point, and the Whizzer was an old man, and it turned out that they had no relation to Wanda and Pietro at all. One thing I recall thinking was neat about her was that she wore glasses--while in costume! That was something you never saw back then.
There's something I'm wondering about, though--although the cover for this comic is excellent, very much in the spirit of the war-era Timely titles, why is the Miss America pictured on it a glasses-less blonde? The Miss America in the story looks as she should, what's with the cover?
